Megan loves her shinfinTM fins for her daily exercise including freestyle swimming, kicking practice and deep water running with a float around her waist. They don’t hurt her back, hips, knees and ankles like normal foot fins. This is because they encourage her to kick from her hips with a smooth kick thrust. Overall she finds they give her good workouts and help her to get more out of her exercise.
Megan’s review from Townsville, Australia
“I love my shinfinTM fins. I find them easier on my body (ankles, knees, hips, back) than normal fins and I swim every day. Mostly freestyle and lots of kicking practice. shinfinTM fins help me get more out of the exercies. I use a float around my waist for deep water running. It is a good workout.”
Megan’s review: Daily exercise & deep water running fins
“I love my shinfinTM fins. I’ve been using them for a while and only recently purchased replacement straps. I find them easier on my body (ankles, knees, hips, back) than normal fins. I do swap around with normal ones and swimming is so much harder when I don’t use the shinfinTM fins.”

I’m glad to hear you love them. Yes they are easier on your body than regular flippers. They are more in tune with how your body should be moving through the water. What activities are you using them for?

Glad to hear the fins are helping you to get more from your exercises. Yes, I get a lot of good feedback about shinfinTM fins improving core muscle strength, with power from your hip flexors.
Do you do your water running wearing shinfinTM fins too? Do you do deep water running with a float or with your feet touching the bottom of the pool?
Can I ask a favour please? Would you mind if I put some extracts from your emails on the web site?
